This is the third book I have read this year by Alafair Burke and I just now realized that in addition to being an author, she is also a law professor. No wonder her legal thrillers are always so detailed and realistic. This story focuses on Olivia Randall, a high profile criminal defense lawyer, and her decision to represent her ex-fiancé when he is accused of a heinous crime. I enjoyed this one a lot and realized that I probably read her books in reverse order (whoops!). The protagonist, Olivia, actually appears in Burke's other titles and it was a lot of fun to learn more about her background. I recommend this one to anyone looking for a fast-paced, mysterious read!
